the manual for the grinder and ANSI B7.1. Failure to heed these warnings can result in wheel breakage and serious
personal injury. For more information on ANSI Standards, contact the American National Standards Institute, Inc., 11 West

The operation of any angle grinder can result in foreign objects being thrown into your eyes,
which can result in severe eye damage. Before beginning power tool operation, always wear

WARNING:
WARNING:
The double insulated system is intended to protect the
user from shock resulting from a break in the tool's
internal wiring. Observe all normal safety precautions
related to avoiding electrical shock.
DOUBLE INSULATION
Your Ryobi power tool is double insulated. This means you
are separated from the tool's electrical system by two complete
sets of electrical insulation. This extra layer of insulation is
intended to protect the user from electrical shock due to a
break in the wiring insulation. All exposed metal parts are
isolated from the internal metal motor components with
protecting insulation. Double insulated tools do not need to
be grounded.
IMPORTANT
Servicing of a tool with double insulation requires extreme
care and knowledge of the system and should be performed
only by a qualified service technician. For service we suggest
you return the tool to your nearest
RYOBI AUTHORIZED
SERVICE CENTER
for repair. When servicing use only
identical Ryobi replacement parts.
WARNING:
Do not attempt to operate this tool until you have read
thoroughly and understand completely all instructions,
safety rules, etc. contained in this manual. Failure to
comply can result in accidents involving fire, electric
shock, or serious personal injury. Save operator's manual
and review frequently for continuing safe operation, and
instructing others who may use this tool.
